Question
Answer
Definition of Subtraction   a - b = a + (-b)  
🗑
Definition of Division   a ÷ b = a/b = a ∙ 1/b, b≠0  
🗑
Distributive Property for Subtraction   a(b - c) = ab - ac  
🗑
Multiplication by 0   0 ∙ a = -a  
🗑
Multiplication by -1   -1 ∙ a = -a  
🗑
Opposite of a Sum   -(a + b) = -a + (-b)  
🗑
Opposite of a Difference   -(a -b) = b-a  
🗑
Opposite of a Product   -(ab) = -a ∙ b = a ∙(-b)  
🗑
Opposite of an Opposite   -(-a) = a  
🗑
Reflexive Property of Equality   a = a  
🗑
Symmetric Property of Equality   If a = b, then b = a  
🗑
Transitive Property of Equality   If a = b and b = c, then a = c  
🗑
Addition Property of Equality   If a = b, then a + c = b + c  
🗑
Subtraction Property of Equality   If a = b, then a - c = b - c  
🗑
Multiplication Property of Equality   If a = b, then ac = bc  
🗑
Division Property of Equality   If a = b and c ≠ 0, then a/c = b/c  
🗑
Substitution Property of Equality   If a = b, then b may be substituted for a in any expression to obtain an equivalent expression  
🗑
Transitive Property of Inequality   If a ≤ b and b ≤ c, then a ≤ c  
🗑
Addition Property of Inequality   If a ≤ b, then a + c ≤ b + c  
🗑
Subtraction Property of Inequality   If a ≤ b, then a - c ≤ b - c  
🗑
Multiplication Property of Inequality   If a ≤ b and c > 0, then ac ≤ bc. If a ≤ b and c < 0, then ac ≥ bc.  
🗑
Division Property of Inequality   If a ≤ b and c > 0, then a/c ≤ b/c. If a ≤ b and c < 0, then a/c ≥ b/c.  
🗑

🗑
Closure of Multiplication   ab is a real number  
🗑
Communtative of Addition   a + b = b + a  
🗑
Communtative of Multiplication   ab = ba  
🗑
Associative of Addition   (a + b) + c = a + (b +c)  
🗑
Associative of Multiplication   (ab)c = a(bc)`  
🗑
Identity of Addition   a + 0 = a, 0 + a = a  
🗑
Identity of Multiplication   a ∙ 1 = a, 1∙ a = a  
🗑
Inverse of Addition   a + (-a) = 0  
🗑
Inverse of Multiplication   a ∙ 1/a = 1, a ≠ 0  
🗑
Distributive   a(b + c) = ab + ac  
🗑
